      About Public Limited Company Registration

      A Public Limited Company (PLC) is a type of legal entity that allows businesses to raise capital from the public by issuing shares. Governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, this structure is ideal for medium to large-sized enterprises aiming to grow their operations and access public investments.

      To register a Public Limited Company in India, you must have a minimum of three directors and seven shareholders. Unlike private limited companies, public companies can offer shares to the general public and may also be listed on stock exchanges. This makes them attractive to investors and suitable for large-scale operations.

      Characteristics of Public Limited Company Registration in India

      Members: Requires a minimum of 7 shareholders. There is no upper limit on the number of members.

      Directors: Must have at least 3 directors to be incorporated.

      Limited Liability: Shareholders’ liability is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. Their personal assets remain protected.

      Separate Legal Entity: A PLC has a separate identity from its shareholders and directors, allowing it to own property, incur debts, and enter into contracts independently.

      Perpetual Succession: The company continues to exist even if the directors or shareholders change or pass away.

      Raising Capital: Can raise funds from the general public through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) or private placements, making it easier to secure large capital for growth.

      Compliance and Transparency: Must comply with SEBI regulations (if listed), file regular returns, and disclose audited financials — ensuring public trust and investor confidence.

      Prospectus Requirement: A public company must issue a prospectus, which is a formal legal document that provides details about the investment offering.

      Minimum Subscription: It must receive at least 90% subscription of the issued share capital before commencing business operations.

      Index of Members: Unlike private companies, public limited companies are required to maintain an index of their shareholders.

      Company Name: The name of a public company must end with the word “Limited”.
